-[about your new home]-

There is a straightforward, traditional feel to the exterior of this Cotswold Grove property, with the house forming part of an established terrace block.

Come through the front door, and you are immediately in the living room. For a terraced home of this style, it is a useful size and gives you enough floor space to decide how you want the room to work. A sofa and an additional chair could comfortably sit around a television area, with the chimney breast as a natural focal point and the existing wall-mounted gas fire at its centre.

From the living room, you move directly into the second reception room, and this separate space is one of the ground floor's more useful features. It means the front room doesn't need to accommodate your sofa, television, dining table, and every other part of daily life all at once.

The most obvious use would be as a dining room. There is enough space for a table and chairs while maintaining a route between the living room, staircase, and kitchen, so meals can take place away from the main seating area. That separation could be particularly welcome if you regularly have friends or family over and want to leave the lounge as somewhere to relax afterwards.

You do not have to use it that way, though. If sitting around a dining table matters less to you, it could easily become a home-working area, children's play space, reading room, or smaller second sitting room.

The staircase rises from this central room, tucked to one side rather than consuming the middle of the floor. That arrangement also explains the house's distinctive progression. Instead of a hallway running alongside the reception rooms, you move through the spaces themselves before reaching the kitchen at the rear.

The kitchen is a galley-style room with cabinetry arranged along both sides. It offers far more storage than its narrow shape suggests, with wall and base cupboards, as well as long sections of worktop space. A useful amount of cabinetry is already fitted, so any future refurbishment could focus on how you want the room to look and function rather than solving a lack of storage.

Continue through the kitchen to a small rear entry area. This creates a useful little buffer between the cooking space, bathroom and outside, rather than having all three open directly into one another.

The bathroom occupies the rear of the property, keeping all facilities together on the ground floor. It has a bath with a shower above, a wash basin, and a WC, with white tiling around the bathing area. A sizeable window provides natural light and ventilation while obscured glazing retains privacy.

It is a simple bathroom and there is room for cosmetic updating if you want to put your own stamp on it, but the fundamentals are already in place. A bath rather than a shower-only arrangement also makes the room more versatile.

Outside, the rear yard has excellent potential. Mostly enclosed by brick walls, it's great for privacy and separated from the neighbouring gardens. Hardstanding already surrounds the rear of the house, giving you somewhere to step outside without walking directly onto soil or lawn, and a pathway continues through the garden to the rear gate.

This is an opportunity to decide what you actually want from the outside space. Clearing and reorganising the existing planting would reveal much more usable ground. You could retain some greenery and create a more deliberate planted garden, or simplify it considerably with a larger paved seating area and easy-to-manage borders.

Gated access at the rear also makes a practical difference in a terraced house. Bins, bicycles, gardening materials and anything else you would rather not carry through the living room and kitchen have another route in and out.

Back inside and heading upstairs, the first floor keeps things simple with two bedrooms arranged either side of a small central landing. There is no bathroom competing for space on this level, which means the majority of the upper floor is given over to the bedrooms themselves.

The first bedroom gives you a particularly useful amount of floor space for a two-bedroom terraced home. There is room here for a double bed without having to compromise on the other furniture you would normally expect in a main bedroom, such as bedside tables and additional storage.

Across the landing, the second bedroom is another genuinely usable room rather than a narrow box room. Its footprint allows for a double bed or generous single alongside wardrobes and drawers, making the house viable for two adults sharing just as readily as it would suit a couple wanting a guest bedroom.
